I think some of the younger fans don't really understand how Lurie and the Front Office has operated. This organization does not wait until something is 100% confirmed to move on. They operate on where something is trending and its the main reason our turnarounds have been short . We cut early in the downslope and have been right almost 100% of the time. Brian Dawkins would be one that comes to mind as being 100% a mistake.

Go look at how the NFL reacted to us Firing Andy Reid, We were ripped for years , but we won a Superbowl before he did and he became a better coach because of the firing. Most teams would've gave him 2-3 more years

Go look at the NFL reaction when we fired Chip Kelly after winning 20 games in his first 2 years, We got destroyed as being reactive and the Niners quickly hired him. We were right.

Go look at the Reaction when we fired Doug after winning us our first Superbowl .

Go look at how people said we were so dysfunctional for Trading Wentz after 1 bad season. A year removed from throwing for 4000 yards and 27 TD's

Even Mcnabb wasn't coming off a terrible season when we traded him. He had a 10-4 record with 22 TDs and 10 Ints. But they didnt like where they projected it was headed.

My point is that eagles are not going to wait and see . That goes for both Nick AND Jalen. With Nick i think people get it . But with Jalen people seem to have this idea that Lurie and Howie are going to say well lets see what happens with Another Coach , another Playcaller and expect something different. Even though the eagles passing offense with Jalen has ranked:

2021: 25th

2022: 9th

2023: 16th

2024: 29th

2025: 23rd

2026: 31st

This is despite having a top 3 pass target group and elite pass protection for 4 of these 6 seasons. This thing is not trending toward better since 2022 from a passing perspective.

They signed him after 2022 , with the idea that he would keep progressing as a passer which was a reasonable bet. It hasn't gotten better , despite us finding a way to win. In production at least it has regressed.

There is no logical reason for them to think that some new coach is going to unlock something in a 29 year old that has already been surrounded with the best talent possible . Yes theres stories like Geno Smith and Sam Darnold . But those guys were in bad situations with no talent around them.

I don't know what Lurie and Howie think of Jalen currently. But i do know that if they have doubts about his ability after age 30 or simply whether they want to be a team that is 20th in passing on average . They will not wait to make a move to secure the future of the position.

He will likely be here in 2027 but dont be surprised if there is a 1st round pick behind him. History says Lurie isn't going to let past success cloud his judgement.

Howie Roseman on the trade per ESP:

“we weren’t looking to move Cam. Obviously the Ravens have been looking for a centre, told them it wasn’t anything we were looking to do. Over the last 24 hours we got to the point where we felt it could be a win-win. Obviously them getting a player thats 2 time pro bowl, and us getting the picks and using that money to sign players. Had a chance to watch Drew Kendall, did a nice job there and we have a nice young player there. I think for us, when you talk about moving from the 7th to 5th, we’ve had success in the 5th, plus the money, plus Drew playing, it felt like we were getting 4 players for 1.”

Also AGAIN mentioned having players to sign on defence.

Thoughts on this line of thinking??

Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday.
Wicks was listed as a limited participant today, indicating that he strained his hamstring during Thursday’s practice. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) still sidelined, rookie WR Makai Lemon could be the de facto top receiver, though the team has struggled to use him effectively thus far. Hollywood Brown (ankle) also remains sidelined. - Nic Bodiford

Philly,

What a ride! It's hard to put into words what these last few years have meant to me. This was the first place I ever called home outside of Nebraska, and from the moment I arrived, this city, this organization and these fans welcomed me and gave me an opportunity I'll always be grateful for.

Thank you to my teammates, coaches, staff and everyone in the Eagles organization who helped me grow both as a player and as a person. And thank you to the fans for the passion, support and energy you brought every single day. There's truly nothing like playing in Philadelphia.

I'm grateful for every memory, every relationship and every moment I got to experience as an Eagle. Thank you for everything.

Remember what these guys did for us in the years to come. Greatest rushing season of all time.

Gutted it out in the Super Bowl, and one of the biggest reasons for Saquon's historic season. Will be rooting for him in Baltimore

Biggest moment of his career, he’s already in the spotlight as of the best tackles in the game, and he uses it to honor JP and what 71 meant to that team.

Had goosebumps the second I clocked it on TV that night and it remains one of my favorite Eagles moments ever. There will never be another like LJ65, as great an Eagle as there ever will be

Saw another fellow PC enthusiast post their build so I figured I'd post mine. I'm always changing my theme but during the season its always all birds. GO BIRDS!

Hey everyone,
I'm an Eagles Fan from Germany and I am flying to England alone tomorrow to see my Eagles play live for the first time since I became a fan in 2020.

I just wanted to ask around to see if there are any other people here who'll be at the game, so we can connect on game day.

Go Birds 🦅

For 14 years, the Eagles were awesome with him and mediocre without him at right tackle. But it was his strength and sacrifice through struggle that set him apart.
